I was reading a magazine article recently that completely sucked the mystique out of the reputation of English model Agyness Deyn (seen here strolling through Soho, New York, on Sunday).
And I hate to say this (okay, I don't really "hate to say this"—it's just that line you're supposed to deliver when you're about to talk sh*t and don't want to come off as a complete heartless beyotch), but I wasn't surprised to find that the "y"s that appear in her name are as manufactured as her image. It's not even her real name. She was born Laura Hollins and has been modeling practically since birth.
But the girl is a work-a-holic, the story went on to say, is totally professional and punctual on photo shoots and knows how to dress when she is off the clock (something a lot of models can't do).
You know what Agyness: A girl has to do what a girl has to do. And you're doing it with a hell of a lot of panache, all the while staying out of trouble.
Thumbs up.

it's the lower east side, not soho.
East Village surely?
i'm not sure why people worship this chick. this bitch looks crazy almost all of the time.
American people are too funny. You talk and write about famous people without even knowing the truth behind them. Since Agyness came surfacing that Europe knows about her fake name and how her professional name was manufactured together with her image. Dahhhhh! Americans!!!
